Automate Deep Research and Spreadsheets with GPT-5.4's Agentic Tool Use
Automate deep web research and document synthesis with agentic workflows.
Leverage GPT-5.4's improved tool-use capabilities to automate deep research and the creation of professional assets like spreadsheets and presentations.
The Scenario
You need to conduct a thorough competitive analysis or look up obscure technical documentation and summarize it into a professional format.
Before & after
You manually search the web, open 10 tabs, and copy-paste data into a spreadsheet for comparison, which takes 45–60 minutes.
Use GPT-5.4 Thinking to perform deep research across tools and professional documents, completing the synthesis in 3–5 minutes.
The Prompt
Deeply research [TOPIC] by searching the web. Provide a synthesis of your findings in a spreadsheet format, specifically comparing [CRITERIA A] and [CRITERIA B].
The GPT-5.4 model is specifically optimized for 'deep web research' and handling professional tasks involving spreadsheets and documents better than previous versions.
